ILLEGAL TRAFFIC.

The movement in this city for an
organization to correct the abuses of
The law regulating the liquor traffic
appears to meet the approval of all
law-abiding citizens. The violation
of the legal privileges granted saloon
keepers to sell intoxicating liquors has
been running on too long, and the bet
ter portion of the community believe
it is quite time a stop was put to these
worst of law violations. The selling
of intoxicating drinks to drunkards is
a mean business, and one which no
man who has any respect for the COM
mon decencies of life will be guilty Of.
But still more reprehensible is it to sell
intoxicating liquor to minors and
young boys. If there be any act deserv-
ing the name of Infamous, it is getting
a boy drunk, or selling him that which
leads to drunkenness. 1t will not be
charged that all the saloon keepers of
the city have been violators of the law
in selling to minors, but such as have
been, and are still disposed to make a
few cents profit by taking a boys
money for intoxicants, it is hoped will
be detected and made to answer in the
courts. The committee who have this
matter in charge mean business, and
will not be trifled with. There is
nothing unreasonable in what is de-
manded; it is, that the laws of the
state regulating the selling of intoxi.
eating liquors must be obeyed. No
man who has any self-respect will take
issue with the committee by saying the
laws ought not to be obeyed.
AS our paper goes to press on Thurs.
day evening, the action of the mass
meeting at the Court House last night
is not given.

THE CHURCHES.

Last Sunday was generally observed
as "Children's day" throughout the
country by the churches. The Metho-
dist church in this city devoted Sum-
day evening to the children. Singing,
Rotations and various exercises gave
interesting diversity to the occasion.
A large audience, filling the church,
manifested great interest in the well
trained efforts of the children.
At the Congregational church the
pulpit was supplied by Rev. Mr.. Gras-
sic. Secretary of the Wisconsin Home
Missionary Society. In the morning
he presented the claims of that society
before the audience, which resulted in
a liberal subscription of $40. In the
evening he preached a discourse of rare
beauty and sublimity.
The Baptist church observed child
ren's day.
In the morning the pastor preached
from unique text to the children,
!" Bound in the Bundle of Life" COM
pairing the Sunday school to a bouquet.
We are favored with the following inter-
esting account of services in the church
"As early as 1850 the second Sunday
in June was observed as Children's
Day by the Baptist denomination.
The church in Kenosha observed
it last Sunday with a special pro-
gram. the central thought of which
was Goods Gardens" These were
Garden of Delight" "Garden of
the Mind" Garden of the Soul" and
Cultivation Of Gods Garden" The
recitations and songs had special ref
erence to these thoughts, and were ex-
ceptionally well rendered by the school.
The house was packed full of people.
The Horal decorations consist ed of a
bower on the platform, in the center
of which was a fountain-a jet of
water springing from a pyramid of
flowers, the latter about feet high,
making the spray about 10 feet high.
The church was trimmed with ever
green's, and from each chandelier hung
a bird cage, whose inmates We'd with
the children in notes of praise"

LOCAL NEWS.

The frequent scarcity of local news
is one of the things that perplex the
conductor of weekly newspaper, for
the reason it is understood that many
patrons of the paper take it for the
county. city and home news. There
come periods when there are no local
happenings of Importance; at such
times, to make a show of home news,
events are sometimes recorded which
some readers think too trivial to find
their way into the columns of news
paper. There are large class of
newspaper readers who care for little
beyond what is found in the local COL
umns; ladies are often seen to take up
the latest copy of the town paper, and,
after scanning the home items, throw
the paper aside without further notice.
The criticism is occasionally heard
that the paper is filled with too many
inconsequential little items. No doubt
that is the honest judgment Of many
good people. But there are different
tastes to be consulted, and there are
readers who enjoy the three and four
line items among the most interesting. ,

A western paper says-and the words
are true here IF you want your town
to improve, improve it. If you want
to make your town lively, make it. Do
not go to sleep, but get up and work for
it. Push. Go in. Advertise. Talk
about it and talk favorably. Ifyou have
any property, improve it. Paint your
houses ; clean up your back yard.
Make your surroundings pleasant, and
you will feel better and your property
will be worth more dollars in the mar
ket. If you are doing reasonably well,
advise your PARKWAY friends to come
and invest near you. Work steadily for
your home interests. Trade at home /;
help your home dealers. Keep your
money at home as much as possible,
and it is likely to help you in return.
The successful towns have been made

an investment that pays. Don't waste
your time over dirty neighborhood
quarrels and hold back your aid from

STAR OF BETHLEHEM.

1t is recorded in scripture that wise
men came from the East TO Jerusalem,
declaring that they had seen the star
of Him, who was born in Bethlehem of
Judea, saying, I'VE have come to wor-
ship him." Astronomers, it is said,
claim that this particular star is known,
and that it reappears at periods of
about 315 years from the time it was
seen in Bethlehem. and is star of pc
culiar brilliancy. 1t retains its efful-
gence few months and gradually pass
es out of sight. 1t is said astronomers
have been watching the heavens for
the temperance of the star of Bethle-
hem, as the time has about expired for
its return. 1t is now stated that Prof.
Klein, distinguished astronomer, has
sighted this star. and given its location
in the heavens. These statements in
respect to the star ofBethlehem will be
taken by some people with allowance,
but they are by no means altogether
improbable.

"While you are giving people simple
rules for preserving their health, why
don't you tell them about the use of lem

asked me the other day. He went on to
say that he had long been troubled with
an inactive liver, which gave him world
of pain and trouble. until recently he was
advised by friend to take a glass ofhot
water, with the juice of half lemon
squeezed into it, but no sugar, night and
morning, and see what the effect would
be. He tried it and found himself bet
ter almost Immediately. His daily
headaches, which medicine had failed
to cure, left him his appetite improved,
and he gained several pounds in weight

the morning, and now at times does

there is no better medicine for persons
